    P4 Back In The Air

    Just was a nice day, had the Mini3 Pro out taking some pics of a landscape we are doing at home and thought i should fly the P4. Forgot how much I liked it! While incredibly loud compared to the Mini3 Pro it is much easier to see. The only thing I noticed was the horizon wasn't level, had to...

    Remote charges half way

    Thanks for this, however I know that won’t fix mine as I had the old battery out and disconnected for a few days before the new battery arrived. Looks like I will be taking it apart and trying the heat gun.

    Remote charges half way

    I have a P4 and I’ve developed an odd problem where the battery for the remote will only charge half way according to the four lights.
